The arts and crafts fair held in Joplin featured sketches, charcoal drawings, and acrylic, oil and pastel paintings from Memorial Art Club and art classes. Club members, cooperating with publi- cation staffers, supplied artwork for the Christmas Spy- glass. Art Club, better known to its members simply as MAC, attended a Christmas party at Shotgun Sam's Pizza Palace and toured the Spiva Art Center at Missouri Southern College. When asked how they would describe MAC, ad- visers Mrs. Gay Straw and Mrs. Margaret Johnson re- plied: All of the 20 members of the club are mad artists tMrs. Strawl and We are truly individual and immensely interested in art iMrs. Johnsonj. French Club. . . Les Amis Francophiles advised by Miss Lisa Crawford and Miss Linda Morton, held monthly meetings. Enthusiastic French Club mem- bers increased their'knowledge of past and present Europe, viewed Debbie Smith's slides of Europe, ate cream puffs, French bread and cheese and sang Bon Beau Sapin and Le Petit Tambour at the annual Christmas party. President Marty Cyrus and adviser Miss Crawford, piloting a club of 10 members, expressed their views on the effect of the new class-time schedule. True, it's partially responsible for the disappointing- ly small membership of our club but the main problem is a definite lack of interest tMartyD. Because students aren't required to arrive early, too few joined the club tMiss Crawfordl. Did this affect the purpose of the French Club? Yes. Due to the fact that we have only 10 members, it is impossible to accomplish much. We do, however, have two dedicated advisers lMartyJ.
